SPATIAL COMPETITION WITH LOCATION‐DEPENDENT COSTS*
研究了成本随位置变化的空间竞争企业行为，推导了最优位置的条件，并分析了均衡时企业对运输费率变化的反应取决于需求曲线性质或符号模糊。
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the behavior of spatially‐competitive firms whose costs depend on their locations. Necessary and sufficient conditions for optimum locations are derived. Comparative‐statistics analysis of the equilibrium shows that the responses of firms to changes in input and output transport rates depend on the properties of consumer demand curves or are ambiguous in sign.
